[WISDOM N POWER]

Hello!

This is my first post and the post on Overcoming Phobias caught my eye.

Just last night I was reading from a book by Dr. Joseph Murphy called The Power of Your Subconscious Mind. The very chapter I completed spoke about mastering fears of all kinds. If I may, I'd like to share what it said so that all who read it may benefit:

"Man is born woth only two fears, the fear of falling and the fear of loud noise. All other fears were given to you by parents, relatives, teachers, and all those who influenced your early years. Abnormal fear takes place when one let's his imagination run wild.

Here is a MASTER TECHNIQUE FOR OVERCOMING ANY PARTICULAR FEAR:

Suppose you are afraid of swimming. Begin now to sit still for five minutes three or four times a day, and imagine you are swimming. Actually, you are swimming in your mind. It is a subjective experience. Mentally you have projected yourself into the water. You feel the chill of the water and the movement of your arms and legs. It is all real, vivid, and a joyous activity of the mind. It is not idle daydreaming, for you know that what you are experiencing in your imagination will be developed in your subconscious mind. Then you will be compelled to express the image and likeness of the picture yu impressed on your deeper mind. This is the LAW of the subconscious. Knowing that as you continue to this mentally, you will do it physically with ease & comfort.

Fear is a thought in your mind, and is not real. You/We are afraid of your/our own thoughts. When you affirm positively that you are going to master your fears, and you come to a definite decision in your conscious mind, you release the POWER of the SUBCONSCIOUS, which flows in response to the nature of your thought. (This applies to ANYTHING WE EVER THINK - what we think about with any level of emotion, we bring upon ourselves and into our life experience. It cannot help but happen to us. It is the LAW of the UNIVERSE. It is obedient to our every thought & feeling).

As with your fear of blood, you are creating frightful images in your mind regarding blood. Substitute those images with images in which you are calm, powerful, peaceful, knowing that you can never be harmed by anything you do not first mentally allow to harm you.

You are already more powerful than you realize - you simply have to turn negative power around and use that power for your good and personal peace.

I hope that helps.
